2012 Bushmills ‘The Causeway Collection’ Burgundy Casks Single Malt Irish Whiskey 700ml

Description

Distilled in 2012, the spirit was first laid down in Bushmills trademark Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks before a luxurious three-and-a-half-year maturation in Burgundy red wine casks. Then bottled this year, non-chill filtered and non-coloured, natural cask strength, 51.8% ABV.

And as for the experience, heavenlystarting with sweet, spiced stewed fruits with vanilla custard on the nose, leading into a deep, velvety palate with indulgent dark cherries, strawberry jam and sticky butterscotch, and a long, rich, juicy finish of vanilla truffle opening into creamy Neapolitan ice-cream, rocky road and a hint of almond.
